Lake Loramie State Park is a 407-acre Ohio State Park in Ft. Loramie, Ohio. It is located around 1,655-acre Lake Loramie and is operated by the Ohio Department of Natural Resources.
Lake Loramie got its name from famous French-Canadian trader Louis Lorimier, who established a trading post at the mouth of Loramie Creek in 1769. Lake Loramie was constructed in 1844–45 as a storage reservoir for supplying water to the Miami-Erie Canal system. In 1949, Lake Loramie became the possession of the Division of Parks and Recreation of the Ohio Department of Natural Resources.
Lake Loramie State Park has 115 electric campsites, 4 rent-a-camp sites and 3 cabins.
Fishing and boating are permitted at Lake Loramie. Crappie, bluegill, channel catfish, bullheads, carp and largemouth bass can be found in the Lake.
